Welcome back to Barry and Jean Morrison.
It is good to welcome Rev Barry Morrison back to the pulpit today. Barry was our Minister here at MacNeill from 1996 – 1999. Many of us remember Barry & Jean, Gillian & Thomas, and their time with us. Barry and Jean live in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. They have family in Southern Ontario, so we get to see them every so often. It is a delight that Barry again accepted the invitation to preach.
Thank you!
Many thanks to the Christian Education Board for another wonderful picnic last Sunday with good food and celebrations for all ages. Thanks to Jessica for organizing the games and to Garry and Bob for manning the BBQ. Well done all!! Bruce’s photos are on our website.

A Message from the Deacons re Interim Appointments.
Our Minister Susan St John remains on a medical leave of absence. She is continuing to progress. There is no clear time–frame for Susan’s return. She will take all the time she needs to rest and recover and heal.
For the time being, the Deacons have taken the decision to appoint both an interim Minister of Pastoral Care & an Interim Minister of Worship.
- David Jones will commence the role of Interim Minister of Pastoral Care from July 1st.
- Bob Bond will commence the role of Interim Minister of Worship from August 1st.
